Hi Seth,<br><br>Take a look at a modified Ruger 10/22 with the Butler Creek Ruger 10/22 Takedown PACKER STOCK <br>Add a short 16+" Carbon fiber Butler Creek barrel and you have a lightweight breakdown package that will outshoot the AR-7 with both eyes shut and reliability should be no problem with the 10/22.<br><br>I have some thoughts about making the Butler Creek PAcker stock even more "in business" for the outdoors and have send Butler Creek an lengthy email with some proposed modifications for the Packer Stock but haven't heard ANYTHING back from them.<br><br>I proposed making the stock with several cutouts (3-4) where standard 10/22 10 round clips would securely click-in. <br>Also make the stock with a central cutout that would hold a 'closable watertight box that could be filled with "survival" goodies / spare ammo etc. when fitted with the removable goodies box it would form a noirmal closed stock.<br><br>Even a space that would hold a simple cleaning kit / ramrod (even the rope type would be OK) and even small spare parts (extractor/firingpin/spring(s)<br><br>I really think that the above modifications would make that Packer Stock a real Outdoor Preparedness Stock that could boost the Ruger 10/22 into a real nice basic Survival 22.<br><br>Pitty that to Packer Stock probably makes the Ruger into an illegal gun in the Netherlands as it allows for a rifle to break down into smaller pieces to fast :(<br><br>Best Scouting wishes from Holland,<br><br>Bagheera<br>
